Frequently Asked Questions

Our expertise, extensive network and readily available funds come together to provide us with exclusive access to unique opportunities before they become available to the open market. This crucial first move advantage, gives us not only the ability to be a step ahead of our competition, but that most of our deals will be discounted and have our profit margin already built into them from the offset. This allows us to mitigate substantial risk in today’s uncertain market.

Being a London based property development business, we like to concentrate on projects within an accessible reach and in up-and-coming areas on our doorstep, where we can add true value. Our track record has also firmly been established on making the numbers stack in and around London. We know our target locations, in particular East, North West and South West London and we have our reliable local networks and we stick to them.

We believe a critical component of Meta Property’s success lies with our sister company, Buildmatic. Buildmatic consists of highly experienced builders and project managers who can manage a broad range of development projects with the experience to overcome potential challenges. Not needing to outsource our construction needs enables Meta Property to tightly control costs, better meet project deadlines and ultimately satisfy our investor expectations.

Our vision is to make the business of property accessible to our investors. Therefore, we firmly operate an open-door policy. We encourage our investors to join us on this journey whether that be on site visits or webinars with our team. We have always been firm believers in the fact that property is not about bricks and mortar but about people above all. This is an ethos we stand by and hope to demonstrate to you through our actions.

Meta Property uses investor funds for the purchase and working capital for distressed deals in and around London. The working capital will support costs associated with the development opportunities, such as professional services (e.g., architects, solicitors, building regulations), construction costs and marketing spend (e.g., estate agent fees).

Meta Property Developments is not regulated itself but is working with Simple Crowdfunding, a FCA regulated property finance platform, enabling qualified investors to invest directly in UK property opportunities via peer-to-peer lending.

Simple Crowdfunding helps make property investment accessible to everyone, whilst helping property developers deliver more homes in the UK. Connecting both investors and property developers, the Simple Crowdfunding platform provides the technology and processes to manage Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, collection / allocation of investor funds and distribution of customer loan agreements.

Peer-to-peer lending is a simple concept, a loan is provided to a fundraiser (such as a Property Developer like Meta Property Developments) on a fixed-term, fixed-rate basis to a lender (Investor). Interest is paid to the lender either at regular intervals or at the end with the initial loan being repaid at the end of the term.

Working with Simple Crowdfunding allows qualified investors to invest into Meta Property.

The Financial Conduct Authority categories individual investors as either:

• Certified High Net Worth Individual
• Self-Certified Sophisticated Investor
• Restricted Investor

The descriptions of each of these are provided as you go through the Simple Crowdfunding registration process. Select the one that best describes you.

Investor categorisations also exist for Company and Trust registrations. Again, descriptions of these are provided as part of the Simple Crowdfunding registration process.

Investments are made through the Simple Crowdfunding platform where you have the opportunity to invest cash, ISA or SSAS.

Yes, it is possible that in some circumstances, you can lose all your money when investing in peer-to-peer loans.

Any charge or security given by the fundraiser (the property developer) may reduce the likelihood of incurring a loss. It does not eliminate it.

A first charge will be provided to the Senior Lender, a London based family office who works alongside us, and a second charge will be provided on behalf of all other lenders in the form of a debenture charge held over all company property assets.

Investing involves risk, including loss of capital and illiquidity and it should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. You should read the risk warnings before investing.

All investment activities take place within the United Kingdom, and any person resident outside the United Kingdom should ensure that they are not subject to any local regulations before investing.

Meta Property Developments does not make investment recommendations to you. No communication from Meta Property Developments, through this website or any other medium, should be construed as an investment recommendation. If you have any doubt about the suitability of any investment opportunity, you should seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

Returns on any investment are never guaranteed.

Peer-to-peer lending investments are not covered by the FSCS guarantee. Before your money is invested or once the proceeds of investments are returned, it will be held by the money recipient in a segregated client bank account and subject to the separate protections applicable to credit institutions and banks.

In the event that things don’t go to plan, Meta Property, will work with the investors and Simple Crowdfunding to resolve the issue to try to recover the funds.

There is no deduction of tax on behalf of investors from either Meta Property Developments or Simple Crowdfunding. Investors are responsible for the payment of any tax due of them to HM Revenue & Customs. Tax treatment is dependent upon individual circumstances.
